Google Israel CEO: We’ll help Palestinian startups

“There is a technological revival in the Palestinian Authority as well, and we have received several appeals from Palestinian startups,” Brand said during a lecture at the College for Academic Studies in Or Yehuda. “We would gladly help develop startups in the Palestinian Authority. Google doesn’t care about borders.”

Brand told the students that about six months ago, 30 senior executives from Google arrived in Israel to study the unique model established in the country to help startup companies.

“Google Israel has come up with a unique model helping small startups turn into global companies. They sit in small garages, and reach any place in the world through the Internet. From these businesses they generate tens of millions of dollars, and we are there to assist them,” Brand said.
